Never understood how it is that the message receptacle you must provide at your expense to receive messages known as a mailbox. Is prohibited under penalty of law for it being used as a receptacle for any messages delivered in it by persons other than USPS carriers despite having the receptacle owners consent when the person or carrier delivering that message can face a penalty for doing so..
Not only what you said, but there is supposed to be a 25,000 $ fine for intentionally damaging mailboxes, but when they catch kids smashing them they slap their wrist and send them on their way.
I have to rent a P O Box for $45 a year because my mailbox was getting smashed weekly without fail.
